[Aug. 17th, 2008|06:43 pm] Thank you so so so so so so so much to everyone who came out for the Wild Life opening last night. i apologize if anyone was there to meet me earlier in the show, there was a major gallery catastrophe and I missed the first two hours of my own show while i tried to fix it. it got fixed, sort of. but how cruel to work for months on something that will only last a few hours and to miss half of it. I want to go into what happened but it'll probably just make me upset again and i want to put it behind me. anyway, the haikus people wrote were pretty amazing. i think Giant Robot plans to award prizes to winners at the end of the show run (so, through September 17th) but i already had a clear winner. I'll give you a hint -- it was based on painting #M85 "The Switch" featuring a raccoon. I'm so glad to be home. I feel all torn up from the highs and lows of the opening, and the three days spent on ladders while handpainting the mural on the walls of GR2. while i love what happened with the show, the installation and the amazing reception and audience that showed their support on saturday, i'm ready for some serious R&R. oh, how i need it. link 5 comments|post comment

postcard question [Aug. 7th, 2008|08:58 am] i have a question -- is anyone in the LA area that has recently purchased something from my shop (like within the last year) but didn't get a postcard for the WILD LIFE? i'm asking because eric says hundreds of postcards have been showing up at giant robot merely because their address is on the postcard. it was the last straw for me yesterday, when i heard about it i finally broke down. the responsibility of an art show is wearing on me! thanks for the comments on my last post that were so encouraging and sweet -- yes, the bank of america commercials were 100% surreal for me! i added some photos of my own experience here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/boygirlparty deep breaths. anybody work at a post office to help us figure out what to do about the postcards? i used to work at my college mailroom but it was hand sorted and something like this would never have happened there. link 15 comments|post comment
